If your off to New York any time soon then it'll be worth your whle checking out the Gershwin Hotel. Located on East 27th street Manhatten, you can't miss it. It's bright red with large white lanternish sculptures protruding out of it.
The area that the hotel is located is Tin pan Alley, the are where much of the music of the 30's and 40's was developed, hense the name gershwin.
This hotel offers something a bit different. It's packed with art for a start - (I'm a poet and I know it!) Infact it is a hotel policy to support new and existing artists.
There is always something going on, with live music most days and even comedy nights and fashion shoots.
As for facilities well, fairly basic, wireless hookup, telephone, voicemail, tv, air con etc. The hotels best feature is the atmosphiere. The hotel staff are very friendly and most are bi lingual.
The rooms vary massively starting at just $40, you can stay in a bunk bed style room, very basic but fine if your travellling on a budget. The prices go up accordingly but your average room that you woudl expect in a hotel comes at about £100. Suites are $250-350 and they are a bit special, mainly for their extravegent pop art decor.
The location of the hotel is ideal for a stay in Manhatten, its pretty much in the centre and I found it comfortable and relaxing.
It's not a posh swanky hotel by any means, but if your after a cool, hip, arty, comfortable place to stay, then I believe you can't go far wrong. Everyone is welcome - you dont have to worry about dressing up, infact its one of those places where you feel you could walk about with spagetti in your hair and noone would bat an eye lid. Like art college really, and yes my friends and I did walk about with spagetti in our hair to see if anyone would notice and they didnt - anything goes at art college!
Anyway, great place to stay.
